Without having looked at this in detail, I'd say you simply got your paths wrong. What does the directory hierarchy look like?

You also don't need to shell out to copy files, BTW; there's modules like File::Copy and Win32 (which contains a CopyFile() function) for that purpose.

Hi there. It's hard for me to tell exactly what you want with no code formatting, but let me recommend a few things.

For converting absolute path to relative path, you should use something like abs2rel from File::Spec.

For copying files, you should use copy/cp from File::Copy.

Edit: Use of File::Spec or Path::Class will also make your paths much less prone to errors related to dealing with weird Windows backslashes.

zee12, it seems you deleted the contents of your previous node about a folder with a time stamp and replaced it with this same question. Please don't do that. See also How do I change/delete my post?

please VERY FAST..!!!!!!
please reply ASAP..!!!!

Perhaps #perl-help on IRC would be helpful if in you're in that much of a rush. Also if I Google "perl absolute to relative path", the very first link is to File::Spec (as also recommended by frozenwithjoy). Did that not work for you?

#!perl
use strict;
use File::Path 'make_path';
my $dir = 'xyz1';
make_path("$dir/BC_TESTCASES",{verbose=>1}) or warn "$!";
